3 Monkeys

You know that clichéd phrase: "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil?"

Well I thought about it for a while and it occurred to me that its not Christian, wo what some of you are like ok thats nice or duh! But the tree little monkeys which represent this "truth" I have sitting in my room! So I always thought okay yeah, its kewl like all that no evil stuff thats the Christian thing to do.

When I realised that its impossible for me to see no evil, I see it everyday. Its impossible for me to hear no evil, its around me all day. Its impossible for me to speak no evil at the moment for I am sinful and bad stuff will always come out my mouth sometime or another.

This leads me to my arbly-unrelated difficiency dissorded next point. You know when you are at home for supper and your mom says this is for supper, lets say for example peas, chicken and potatoes. SO you go okay and she goes out expecting you to eat all three.

Now obeying your mom would be to eat all three, and obeying yourself would be to eat the stuff that you like lets say the chicken and potatoes only.

But then you think to yourself well do I really have to eat these peas? I don’t like them very much and I am unaware if they have nutritional value at all. Whats the point of eating stuff that has no nutritional value whatsoever?

Imagine you have been eating peas your whole life, “because they are good for you” and when you are 35 you realise that they actually have no nutritional value whatsoever?

I mean you have literally suffered your whole life eating this “good stuff” when it hasn’t been making your health any better than it already was! I would go into depression for about 7 minutes wondering why God didn’t tell me sooner, now that leads me into what I want to say.

The world says do this and do that. From when you are small you get instructions from various places: friends parents brothers, sisters, tv and others. Now we just from a young age assume all this is true and real, and we must believe it all.

Now what we should be doing as we get older is really challenge our beliefs, doesn’t have to be spiritual, just your beliefs in anything and actually find out!

I didn’t know that those monkeys were wrong and when I did I got them straight outer my room and in the trash! I also used to think that “going overseas” was just to another country. Only till I realised that its actually going overseas, as in over the sea! I felt pretty retarded after that.

So stay strong stay equipped, empowerment stimulates effectiveness.
